From the Waipara Valley just north of Christchurch, this medium-gold-hued Pinot Gris is a solid example of a variety and style New Zealand increasing excels at. The nose is perfumed and honeyed with notes of ripe apples, pears and white-flower blossoms. The mouthfeel is viscous, less about the fruit and more about the texture, but kept fresh by a lifted line of acidity. A slightly bitter peach-pit note appears at the finish but should all but disappear when paired with food.
